What the critics say

Critics agree Bhagnani's committed, lived-in performance carries this sports biopic, praising its restraint, body-shaming and resilience themes, though most flag a predictable, cliché-heavy arc and uneven pacing as real weaknesses.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 7 readings; 4 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
